Being an Artist in Residence is a fantastic opportunity to develop your work, research new work, become involved with a different community, or a time away from home to focus on your work. There are many exceptional residencies and each one may have different expectations of you as a resident. It is a good idea to research the residency to make sure that it is a good fit for you, and you are for it. These international residencies have an interest or dedication to ceramics. In addition, the Jan / Feb issue of Ceramics Review has Art in Residence information and also Artists Communities Third Edition book is a great resource.
